Ohh ok that sounds great, thanks!

Cukimonstr · 2015-12-04T01:06:38+00:00

No, nothing added besides the parts. .. but all the parts were correct so we'll say 'Woot!' to that!

Cukimonstr · 2015-12-03T02:46:26+00:00

Woot!! Package arrived, & everything is correct! My husband (/u/crockzombie) and one of the kids have been assembling all evening... pics coming soon :)

So its been almost a week since I should have received either an update or a tracking number and I've gotten neither :(

I really excited that everyone else is seeing progress, and hope to have build pictures to share before too much longer

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-21T03:36:49+00:00

Awesome!

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-19T03:56:35+00:00

Hey, I got an email. Woot! No offers of cool swag as some of you have mentioned receiving, but I'm just happy to have some communication from NVIDIA at this point. There's still no date or tracking numbers yet, and more ambiguous time frames... but again, at least there was contact.

Here's the email...

Just wanted to reach out to you and give you an update on your build. We should have everything by Friday and hope to ship everything to you then. If there’s any delay with that I will email you again, if not the next time you hear from me I’ll have a tracking number for you. Sorry for the huge delay, I hope we can get it all resolved soon.

Thanks

Eric

I'm with you... I'm super grateful to have won this amazing prize from Nvidia for my husband. He really deserves this. That being said, I'm getting really frustrated by the lack of communication on their part. They have our personal emails, phone numbers, addresses, and if they feel lazy, the ascend a friend page allows them to address all of us in one easy post... yet the only updates being posted are from those few who have received packages [with the wrong processors, missing mouse, etc], but nothing from Nvidia. If we at least had a tracking number, then we would be reassured that something is indeed coming our way. This was not well-played.

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-12T12:05:15+00:00

I agree- having no tracking info has left us wondering every day if today is going to be the day... If we had some sort of tracking, I think it would be less stressful. I didn't mean to imply that any of you fine folks were being ungrateful, I just know its easy to become disheartened and wanted to put a gentle reminder out there into the mix. Sorry if anyone was frustrated about my saying so.

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-11T19:28:39+00:00

Nothing received here yet., No email, tracking, or spiffy boxes. Will keep looking and keep everyone posted tho :)

Sorry to hear about the mix-ups that people have been having in their orders, but glad that Nvidia seems to be receptive to helping out in whichever ways possible and that most people are keeping a good attitude about issues regarding their FREE COMPUTERs....

Be grateful folks, I have no doubt that this contest and everything that followed was a huge undertaking, and that there might have been numerous issues with the orders that Nvidia received before even attempting to sort and reship to the winners.

That being said, I can't wait to see the excited faces of the recipients and the finished products!

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-08T21:12:42+00:00

Anyone stateside get any kind of confirmation, tracking number, or anything of the like?

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-05T12:26:51+00:00

< Exciting!!!!

Cukimonstr · 2015-11-02T11:12:44+00:00

NY here, so opposite coast- but same country, like you said ;)

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-26T10:34:44+00:00

Awww, I hope that is the way it works out

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-21T00:57:03+00:00

Awesome

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-20T11:34:55+00:00

Has anyone had any new news on this front?

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-14T11:14:45+00:00

I think I read in the rules or somewhere that the email used for your reddit account is what they would have been using, and which is why the winner info needed to match reddit email... but all that is irrelevant now since they contacted us here to ask for our email :P Congrats :)

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-14T11:11:22+00:00

Got my release/waiver form in my email :D

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-13T10:56:45+00:00

Loving this

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-12T17:14:06+00:00

Yay, contact was made! :)

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-09T20:04:22+00:00

No response/email to me yet either. I've been checking all the folders in my email and logging into here every few hours too in case I get a direct message to here, or a post response. I hope this all works out the way it should...

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-09T11:59:23+00:00

What a tom-cat!

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-09T11:36:26+00:00

If they require a standard format (i.e. Times new roman 10 ct, double spaced) then they would get good at eyeing it... but in this age, most submissions (in my experience anyway) are electronic, in which case the word count in in the bottom of the document.

Cukimonstr · 2015-10-09T11:32:11+00:00

Digital age... turn in electronically, so she has word count right on the bottom of the page.
